- As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , at a timing point T1, the reset signal RST_X1 is changed from a disable level to an enable level. Accordingly, the shift register circuit SRX1 turns on the switches of the switch set MX1 according to the reset signal RST_X1. In this situation, the capacitors of the sensing regions A in the first column are connected in parallel. The turned-on switches of the switch set MX1 transmit the touch transmitting signal TX to the transmittingelectrodes 102 of the sensing regions A in the first column. In addition, the reset signals RST_Y1 is changed from a disable level to an enable level. Accordingly, the shift register circuit SRY1 turns on the switches of the switch set MY1 according to the reset signal RST_Y1. In this situation, the capacitors of the sensing regions A in the first row are connected in parallel. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY1 receive the touch receiving signal RX from the receivingelectrodes 104 of the sensing regions A in the first row and then transmit the touch receiving signal RX to a processor circuit (not shown). - At a timing point T2, the reset signal RST X1 still has the enable level, and the reset signals RST_Y2 is changed from a disable level to an enable level. Accordingly, the shift register circuit SRY2 turns on the switches of the switch set MY2 according to the reset signal RST_Y2. In this situation, the capacitors of the sensing regions A in the second row are connected in parallel. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY2 receive the touch receiving signal RX from the receiving
electrodes 104 of the sensing regions A in the second row and then transmit the touch receiving signal RX to the processor circuit. - At a timing point T3, the reset signal RST_X2 is changed from a disable level to an enable level. Accordingly, the shift register circuit SRX2 turns on the switches of the switch set MX2 according to the reset signal RST_X2. In this situation, the capacitors of the sensing regions A in the second column are connected in parallel. The turned-on switches of the switch set MX2 transmit the touch transmitting signal TX to the transmitting
electrodes 102 of the sensing regions A in the second column. In addition, the reset signal RST_Y1 changing from the disable level to the enable level. The shift register circuit SRY1 turns on the switches of the switch set MY1 according to the reset signal RST_Y1. In this situation, the capacitors of the sensing regions A in the first row are connected in parallel. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY1 receive the touch receiving signal RX from the receivingelectrodes 104 of the sensing regions A in the first row and then transmit the touch receiving signal RX to the processor circuit. - At a timing point T4, the reset signal RST_X2 still has the enable level, and the reset signals RST_Y2 is changed from the disable level to the enable level. Accordingly, the shift register circuit SRY2 turns on the switches of the switch set MY2 according to the reset signal RST_Y2. In this situation, the capacitors of the sensing regions A in the second row are connected in parallel. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY2 receive the touch receiving signal RX from the receiving
electrodes 104 of the sensing regions A in the second row and then transmit the touch receiving signal RX to the processor circuit. - Based on the similar operations, the processor circuit receives the touch receiving signal RX of each sensing regions. A voltage of the touch receiving signal RX can reflect a capacitive value. For example, if a touch event occurs at a position corresponding to a transmitting
electrode 102 and a receivingelectrode 104, the capacitive value between the transmittingelectrode 102 and the receivingelectrode 104 changes. Accordingly, the processor circuit can determine the touch position according to the corresponding touch receiving signals RX. - It is noted that the touch operation is mainly controlled by the reset signals RST_X1-RST_X2 and RST_Y1-RST_Y2, and the clock signals CLK_X and CLK_Y have disable levels.

FPR function 100, a sensing region A2 corresponding to the position P2 is determined for the subsequent FPR operation. Since a coordination of the sensing region A2 is at the second column and at the second row, the shift register circuit SRX2 and the shift register circuit SRY2 are selected according to the coordination of the sensing region A2. - During the FPR operation, the transmitting signal TX is a FPR transmitting signal, and the receiving signal RX is a FPR receiving signal.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , during a time interval D1, the control signal STV_X2 has an enable level and the clock signal CLK_X has an enable level. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRX2 is started up according to the control signal STV_X2 and turns on a first switch of the switch set MX2 according to the clock signal CLK_X. The turned-on first switch of the switch set MX2 transmits the FPR transmitting signal TX to corresponding transmittingelectrodes 102. In addition, during the time interval D1, the control signal STV_Y2 has a pulse and the clock signal CLK_Y has multiple pulses. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRY2 is started up according to the control signal STV_Y2 and turns on the switches of the switch set MY2 sequentially according to the clock signal CLK_Y. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY2 receive the FPR receiving signals RX from corresponding receivingelectrodes 104 sequentially, and then transmit the FPR receiving signals RX to the processor circuit. - During a time interval D2, the clock signal CLK_X has the enable level. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRX2 turns on a second switch of the switch set MX2 according to the clock signal CLK_X. The turned-on second switch of the switch set MX2 transmits the FPR transmitting signal TX to corresponding transmitting
electrodes 102. In addition, during the time interval D2, the clock signal CLK_Y has multiple pulses. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRY2 turns on the switches of the switch set MY2 sequentially according to the clock signal CLK_Y. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY2 receive the FPR receiving signals RX from corresponding receivingelectrodes 104 sequentially, and then transmit the FPR receiving signals RX to the processor circuit. - Based on the similar operations, the transmitting
electrodes 102 and the receivingelectrodes 104 of the sensing region A2 are sensed, and the processor circuit receives the FPR receiving signals RX of the sensing region A2. A voltage of one FPR receiving signal RX can reflect a capacitive value. The voltages of the FPR receiving signals RX can be converted into digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter. The digital signals can indicate wave crests and wave troughs of the fingerprint of the finger F. Accordingly, the processor circuit can perform the FPR operation according to the digital signals. - With this configuration, each of shift register circuit SRX1-SRX2 and SRY1-SRY2 is connected to the sensing regions A of one column or one row. Thus, each of shift register circuit SRX1-SRX2 and SRY1-SRY2 is controlled by fewer signals, and a pin number can be reduced.

FIG. 6 andFIG. 7 .FIG. 7 is a timing sequence diagram illustrating signals inFIG. 6 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. - One of major differences between
FIG. 6 andFIG. 1 is that the shift register circuits SRY1′-SRY2′ inFIG. 6 are controlled by the same reset signal RST_Y′. - Accordingly, as illustrated in
FIG. 7 , during a time interval D3, the reset signal RST_Y′ has an enable level, and the shift register circuits SRY1′-SRY2′ turn on switches of the switch sets MY1′-MY2′ according to the reset signal RST_Y′. In addition, during the time interval D3, the reset signals RST_X1′-RST_X2′ changes from a disable level to an enable level sequentially. Accordingly, the shift register circuit SRX1′ turns on switches of the switch set MX1′ according to the reset signals RST_X1′ first, and then the shift register circuit SRX2′ turns on switches of the switch set MX2′ according to the reset signals RST_X2′. - When the shift register circuit SRX1′ turns on the switches of the switch set MX1′, the turned-on switches of the switch set MX1′ transmit the touch transmitting signal TX to the transmitting
electrodes 102′ of the sensing regions A′ in the first column. Since the switches of the switch sets MY1′-MY2′ are turned on, the switches of the switch sets MY1′ receive a touch receiving signal RX_Y1′ from the receivingelectrodes 104′ of the sensing regions A′ in the first row, and the switches of the switch sets MY2′ receive a touch receiving signal RX_Y2′ from the receivingelectrodes 104′ of the sensing regions A′ in the second row. - Then, when the shift register circuit SRX2′ turns on the switches of the switch set MX2′, the turned-on switches of the switch set MX2′ transmit the touch transmitting signal TX′ to the transmitting
electrodes 102′ of the sensing regions A′ in the second column. Since the switches of the switch sets MY1′-MY2′ are turned on, the switches of the switch sets MY1′ receive the touch receiving signal RX_Y1′ from the receivingelectrodes 104′ of the sensing regions A′ in the first row, and the switches of the switch sets MY2′ receive the touch receiving signal RX_Y2′ from the receivingelectrodes 104′ of the sensing regions A′ in the second row. - Based on the similar operations, the processor circuit receives the touch receiving signals RX_Y1′-RX_Y2′ of different rows. Then, the processor circuit can determine the touch position according to the touch receiving signals RX_Y1′-RX_Y2′.

FIG. 4 , if a finger touches a position P3 on the touch device with theFPR function 600, a sensing region A3 corresponding to the position P3 is determined for the subsequent FPR operation. Since a coordination of the sensing region A3 is at the second column and at the second row, the shift register circuit SRX2′ and the shift register circuit SRY2′ are selected according to the coordination of the sensing region A3. - As illustrated in
FIG. 9 , during a time interval D1′, the control signal STV_X2′ has an enable level and the clock signal CLK_X′ has an enable level. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRX2′ is started up according to the control signal STV_X2′ and turns on a first switch of the switch set MX2′ according to the clock signal CLK_X′. The turned-on first switch of the switch set MX2 transmits the FPR transmitting signal TX′ to corresponding transmittingelectrodes 102′. In addition, during the time interval D1′, the control signal STV_Y2′ has a pulse and the clock signal CLK_Y′ has multiple pulses. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRY2′ is started up according to the control signal STV_Y2′ and turns on the switches of the switch set MY2′ sequentially according to the clock signal CLK_Y′. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY2′ receive the FPR receiving signals RX_Y2′ from corresponding receivingelectrodes 104′ sequentially, and then transmit the FPR receiving signals RX_Y2′ to the processor circuit. - During a time interval D2′, the clock signal CLK_X′ has the enable level. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRX2′ turns on a second switch of the switch set MX2′ according to the clock signal CLK_X′. The turned-on second switch of the switch set MX2′ transmits the FPR transmitting signal TX′ to corresponding transmitting
electrodes 102′. In addition, during the time interval D2′, the clock signal CLK_Y′ has multiple pulses. Accordingly, the selected shift register circuit SRY2′ turns on the switches of the switch set MY2′ sequentially according to the clock signal CLK_Y′. The turned-on switches of the switch set MY2′ receive the FPR receiving signals RX_Y2′ from corresponding receivingelectrodes 104′ sequentially, and then transmit the FPR receiving signals RX_Y2′ to the processor circuit. - Based on the similar operations, the transmitting
electrodes 102′ and the receivingelectrodes 104′ of the sensing region A3 are sensed, and the processor circuit receives the FPR receiving signals RX_Y2′ of the sensing region A3. Then, the processor circuit can perform the FPR operation according to digital signals corresponding to the FPR receiving signals RX_Y2′. - With this configuration, the operation speed can be faster because the shift register SRY1′-SRY2′ correspond to different receiving signals RX_Y1′-RX_Y2′ respectively.

FIG. 11 andFIG. 6 is that the switch set MX1″-MX2″ inFIG. 11 receive different transmitting signals TX_X1″-TX_X2″ respectively. The other of major differences betweenFIG. 11 andFIG. 6 is that the shift register circuits SRY1″ and SRY2″ inFIG. 11 are controlled by different reset signals RST_Y1″-RST_Y2″ respectively. In other words, different sensing regions A″ inFIG. 11 are connected to different shift register circuits SRX1″-SRX2″ and different shift register circuits SRY1″-SRY2″ respectively. Thus, the sensing regions A″ inFIG. 11 are controlled separately. - Reference is made to

FPR function 1100. As illustrated inFIG. 12 , the touch operation is performed on a sensing region A6, and the FPR operation is performed on a sensing region A7 corresponding to a touch position P4. - Regarding the touch operation, the shift register circuit SRX1″ turns on switches of the switch set MX1″ and the turned-on switches of the switch set MX1″ transmit a touch transmitting signal TX_X1″ to the transmitting
electrodes 102″ of the sensing regions in the first column. In addition, the shift register circuit SRY1″ turns on switches of the switch set MY1″ and the turned-on switches of the switch set MY1″ receive a touch receiving signal RX_Y1″ from the receivingelectrodes 104″ of the sensing regions in the first row. Thus, the touch operation can be performed for the sensing region A6 at the first column and at the first row. - Regarding the FPR operation, based on a coordination of the sensing region A7, the shift register circuit SRX2″ and the shift register circuit SRY2″ are selected. The shift register circuit SRX2″ turns on a first switch of the switch set MX2″ and the turned-on switch of the switch set MX2″ transmit a FPR transmitting signal TX_X2″ to the transmitting
electrodes 102″ of the sensing regions in the second column.

Then, similarly, the shift register circuit SRX2″ turns on a second switch of the switch set MX2″, and the shift register circuit SRY2″ turns on switches of the switch set MY2″ sequentially. Thus, the FPR operation can be performed for the sensing region A7 at the second column and at the second row. - With this configuration, the touch operation and the FPR operation can be performed on the different sensing regions A6 and A7 simultaneously on the touch device with the
FPR function 1100. - It is noted that, in this example, the reset signal RST_X2″ and the reset signal RST_Y2″ corresponding to the FPR sensing region A7 have a disable level, and the control signal STV_X1″ and the control signal STV_Y1″ corresponding to the touch sensing region A6 have a disable level.
